We all know the different class options offered by airlines: economy, premium economy, business and first class. But do you know what sets them apart? In this article, we explain in detail the characteristics of each one.


Economy Class:


Also known as coach or standard class, it has the lowest ticket price. The seats are smaller with little distance between them, there is less space to stretch your legs, and there is a more limited variety of food and entertainment.


Business Class:


Economy, business and first class: know the differences.


The seats are more comfortable, with greater distance between them and they recline up to 180 degrees. There are also more beverage and food options than in economy class. Many airlines offer only this mode and not first class, which often causes confusion.


First Class:


Economy, business and first class: know the differences.


The seats are solitary with direct aisle access. It is the most luxurious, with more privacy and larger, more comfortable seats (over 2 meters for the legs). Some menus are designed by chefs with Michelin-starred restaurants.


Premium Economy:


Economy, business and first class: know the differences.


Some airlines offer Premium Economy. They usually have a few seats located in front of the economy class. These seats are a bit wider, with more comfortable armrests, a wider variety of food, and larger

screens.
